AMD’s next generation of Ryzen desktop CPUs are hotly anticipated by anyone who anxiously wants to push more pixels and polygons. Even with a last-minute delay, the Ryzen 9000 series is getting system builders seriously salivating and itching to buy.
While AMD still hasn’t mentioned anything about prices—at least, not officially—we got a glimpse yesterday when Best Buy briefly listed all four upcoming processors with prices to match.
The pre-sale listings, which were briefly spotted by X/Twitter user @momomo_us (and subsequently AnandTech), haven’t been officially confirmed or denied by AMD. That said, in my experience, Best Buy is generally accurate with prices for this sort of thing, especially now that we’re only weeks away from a retail release.
Even more surprising is how low the prices are for the four initial CPUs, beating their Ryzen 7000-series equivalents.
Here’s a quick comparison to the older 2022/2023 chips at their initial retail prices (though street prices fell quickly):
As you can see, the Best Buy leak indicates price cuts across the board: $20 for the 9600X up to a whopping $100 for the top-of-the-line 9950X as well as the 9900X.
Given the impressive performance gains seen in initial testing and now the incredible pricing that meets or beats their Intel counterparts, AMD is clearly coming out swinging into the new era.
The leak also included the newer entries for the long-running AM4 socket: the Ryzen 9 5900XT at $349 and the 5800XT at $249.
Once again, I have to emphasize that these prices aren’t yet official. But we won’t have to wait much longer to see how true they are. The new Ryzen 9 chips are coming August 15th, and the Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 chips are arriving a little earlier on August 8th.
